Scaling Limits for the Gibbs States on Distance-Regular Graphs with Classical Parameters

Abstract

We determine the possible scaling limits in the quantum central limit theorem with respect to the Gibbs state, for a growing distance-regular graph that has so-called classical parameters with base unequal to one. We also describe explicitly the corresponding weak limits of the normalized spectral distribution of the adjacency matrix. We demonstrate our results with the known infinite families of distance-regular graphs having classical parameters and with unbounded diameter.
